The primary short-term adverse effects to the community are: 1. Air quality will be temporarily degraded due to exhaust and dust .. generated by construction equipment; 2. Visual blight will occur from the temporary storage of construction .. materials and equipment on site; 3. Construction noise will occur temporarily; �. 4.

The land uses adjacent to Bristol Street are devoted to predominantly residential and commercial .. purposes. The preferred alternative would commit a large number of parcels currently used for residential commercial uses to automotive transportation and related uses. Since the area is heavily urbanized and fully built out, the preferred alternative would not involve the consumption of any non- urbanized land resources, agricultural lands, or open spaces. IV -88
